Alfredo Ramses
Founder and Lead Editor of Rock Climbing Realms. I've spent over a decade researching climbing gear, safety techniques, and route beta—working with our network of climbers to separate legit gear from marketing hype. I don't just write about climbing; I obsess over the details that keep you safe on the wall. Every gear review and technique guide here has been vetted by experienced climbers before it earns a spot.
